How to Pack the Tableware and Glasses
Anxious to avoid breakage during a move? Here are some simple tips for packing dishes and glasses well to preserve them during transport.
With a minimum of equipment and good technique, you will be sure that everything arrives safely, without breaks or cracks.
Plates Material
- Bubble paper
- Crumpled newspaper
- Cartons
If you do not have specially designed cartons with dividers, you can use conventional cartons.
Nevertheless, one must be vigilant about the organization of the latter. Be sure to lay the dishes flat starting at the bottom of the carton, not in rows on a slice.
How to pack the dishes:
Start by putting a layer of bubble paper at the bottom of the cardboard, large enough to line the bottom, the sides and be folded over the top of the pile once the cardboard is full. Place a plate.
Alternate plates and newsprint so that they are not in contact, then fold down the bubble wrap before closing the carton.
Tips: You can use your tea towels and kitchen towels to add extra protection or stall in hollow places, so dishes will not move.
For glasses
- Bubble paper
- Crumpled newspaper or paper towel
- Cartons
How to pack the glasses:
The glasses, with their hollow central part, are extremely fragile.
If you do not have special cartons for glasses, wrap each glass individually with bubble wrap, fill the inside of the glasses with paper towels or newspaper.
As for the plates, complete the cardboard with linens, and in this case, create a layer of laundry at the bottom of the cardboard.
The dishes, bowl and other fragile dishes
The dishes are often heavy and bulky; ideally do not put too much in a carton, and as for plates, place a thick layer of newspaper or even bubble wrap between each of them.
To complement your kitchen cartons, bet on the non-fragile, such as Tupperware, metal cake dishes or wooden spoons.
Your casseroles or casserole minutes must be protected to avoid cracks and deformations, take advantage of the empty space inside to fill small kitchen items (toothpicks, cups, straws, paper towels etc.). )
Organization Tips
- Do not overfill cartons
- Write on the boxes concerned the mention "fragile"
- Specify the destination piece and the content
- Unpack carefully on arrival
All your goods deserve to be carefully packaged and protected, but your dishes and glasses require the utmost care.
Last tip: take the coffee machine in the car with you, it will be welcome in your new kitchen to prepare a coffee upon arrival and attack the unpacking cartons.
